  Shame it’s not available to the general public; I’d love to give a riscv laptop a serious try.

  As in the gore makes more sense in a game than a show, not that the games lack gore.

  Play dom-jot, hu-mon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHITE WHALE HOLY GRAIL⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that someone is trying to kill me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advent of code starts in less than 12 hours!⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good exercise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing with Ruby clusterfucks is you have to go looking for them. Languages with implicit type coercion and loose comparison like PHP and JS have clusterfucks lying in wait for you and it takes concerted effort to avoid them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you had to choose one programming language that you had to use for the rest of your life, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ruby gives you all kinds of tools to make clusterfucks, but it’s not hard to keep your hands out of the metaprogramming cookie jar.

  But with careful application even fucky features can be put to good use. Like monkey-patching a problematic method to only throw an exception rather than allow accidental misuse. With a nice verbose error message and good testing practices there’s almost no risk.

  Ruby’s === operator actually serves a useful purpose at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite font for code ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unifont: it looks clean and I love the curly braces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seriously???⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My question is how are these boats so buoyant, rigid, and stable!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Join Starfleet. Fast reaction time not required!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course, but when you don’t know who is a deadly foe, there’s a bit more subtlety than having to be defenseless because you aren’t certain. The risks can never be reduced to zero, and the safety of you and your team can’t be ignored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Join Starfleet. Fast reaction time not required!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At least aiming their phasers while they were unsure would have given them a chance to react once the changeling transformed.

  RIP to an OG.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A guide to DS9 episode plots⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean enhances the episode with her peerless villainy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A handy visual guide to Bones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bones, help me, I’m injured!”

  “true”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Oppenheimer' Surpasses 'Bohemian Rhapsody' Becomes Highest-Grossing Biopic of All-Time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t help it, bio-pic just sounds dumb to me :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but keep reading. That strategy is a pain to maintain especially across editors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I am not, it’s easy to find examples where tabs first then spaces breaks down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tabs are objectively better than spaces - gomakethings.com⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you lose the benefit of tabs: you can’t adjust the tab width without destroying alignment. So you end up with a confusing mix of characters for no benefit.

  Mixing them is the worst option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you agree?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more complicated to make money producing FOSS, capitalism or not. Lots of reasonable developers would still choose closed source even without capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Lower Decks’ Headed To The Big Screen For Star Trek Day; Interactive Novel Coming In 2024⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, Lower Decks? LD captures the spirit of Trek better than any official property in a long time. No soap-opera-style parade of cataclysms, just exploring humanity by exploring space.

  I was put off by it being a comedy initially, but the framework the comedy happens within does a lot of great examination of Trek and of life. Plus lots of great characters with growth.

  What kinds of contradictions do you mean?
